Good analysis and nice amount of data. Work on how to write captions for images. Also missing sample ID for nanodrop images. - BN Virtual Screening (to be continued...)
Figure 23 The image above is of the 10 positive and 5 negative ligand that will be used for virtual screening. Cut pNic-Bsa4
Figure 22 The image above is a 1% agarose gel loaded with 1XTAE buffer. Lane one contains 1Kb ladder, lane two contains 100bp ladder, lane three contains my 10uL PCR clean-up sample mixed with 2uL of blue dye, lane four is empty, lane five contains Brandy's sample. The 1Kb ladder reference is to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: The STP1 gene had 739bp. The cut sites seem to be accurate and Brandy's are in the same spot as mine which backs up that the cut sites are accurate. My sample is not as bright as Brandy's is which means that she had more of the sample than I do. Hopefully this wont mess my cloning up in the long run. The 100bp was added out of habit but it wasn't necessary. Cut sites

Figure 20 The figure above is of the first measured sample nanodrop for pNIC-Bsa4.
Figure19 The figure above is of the second measure sample of nanodrop for pNIC-Bsa4 clean-up.
Analysis: The average of the two images is 47.05 ng/uL. A good reading would be around 50 ng/uL. My reading is not as high as I would have hoped or liked it to be, but I will continue with this round of cloning and see how it goes. The next part of lab will be gel checking the sample to ensure that it cut in the right spots. PCR Clean-up
Figure 18 The figure above is of the first measured sample of nanodrop for PCR clean-up.
Figure 17 The figure above is of the second measured sample of nanodrop for PCR clean-up.
Analysis: The average between the two measurements is 64.25 ng/uL. This is a pretty good measurement. The next steps will be to continue with doing pNIC-Bsa4 clean-up.
Very good! -UM
Weeks 7 & 8
MidiPrep (2nd trial)
Figure 16 The figure above is of the first measured sample of nanodrop (2nd trial).
Figure 15 The figure above is of the second measured sample of nanodrop (2nd trial).
Analysis: This run of midiprep turned out a lot better than the previous one. The average yield here is 58.25ng/uL. This is about the average yield. This time a different pNIC-BSA4 plate was used. The colonies on this plate weren't as close together and they were also a little bigger in size. I believe that the next step would be to cut pNIC-BSA4.
MidiPrep (1st trial)
Figure 14 The figure above is of the first measured nanodrop image.
Figure 13 The figure above is of the second measured nanodrop image.
Analysis: This run of midiprep did not go the way that it was expected. The average yield of the accepting vectors is 8.25ng/uL. This is not a good yield. There is basically nothing there. One possible reason for this could be that the plate of pNIC-BSA4 that I used had a lot of small colonies. This makes it hard to just get one. I believe that the plate was not a good one because other people who used that plate have had similar results. The next step would be to redo this lab and hopefully get a better yield.
PCR^2 (2nd trial)
Figure 12 The figure above is of the second trial of PCR^2. This is a 1% agarose gel loaded with 1X TAE buffer. Lane one contains the 100bp ladder. Lane two-five contain samples five-eight respectively. Lane six contains the 1Kb ladder. The 100bp ladder reference is to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: The second trial of PCR^2 went the way that it was expected to go. The samples are all in the right range and they are bright which means that there should be a good yield of the gene. The 1Kb ladder was just run with the samples as a second set of reference. It wasn't needed, I just wanted to make sure that the samples were in the right range. I can now proceed to PCR clean-up.
PCR^2 (1st trial)
Figure 11 The figure above is of the first trial of PCR^2. This is a 1% agarose gel loaded with 1X TAE buffer. Lane one contains the 100bp ladder. Lane two-five contain samples one-four respectively. The 100bp ladder reference is to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: This trial of PCR^2 did not go as planned. The bands seem to be around the same spot, but they are not bright. Brightness indicates a good yield of the gene. The purpose of doing PCR^2 is to make a lot of the sample, so if the band is not bright, then there is probably not a lot of the sample. This step needs to be redone in order to ensure that there is enough of the sample.
Secondary PCR
Figure 10 The figure above is of the first trial of secondary PCR. This is a 1% agarose gel loaded with 1X TAE buffer. Lane one contains the 100 bp ladder. Lane two contains the primary PCR sample, the working one. Lane three contains the secondary PCR sample. The 100 bp ladder reference is to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: It looks like the secondary PCR worked. The primary PCR has the smear which is to be expected. The secondary PCR sample is in the correct range being that the gene has around 700 bp. The sample is also very bright which is good because that means that there is a good amount of the sample. There is a slight band in lane four. Since there is no sample there, there shouldn't be a band. A reasonable explanation for this could be that there was a tear in the gel and some of the secondary PCR sample went into lane four. The gel was also dropped on the floor which is the reason for the rips on the bottom of the gel image. The next step would be to do PCR^2.
Good job on finally getting primary PCR working! Hopefully you can get secondary up and running as well. I like how you include what you're going to try next. - Michael T.
Weeks 5 & 6
Primary PCR (3rd try)
Figure 9 The figure above is of the third trial of Primary PCR. This is a 1% agarose gel loaded with 1XTAE buffer. Lane one contains the 100bp ladder. Lane two contains the Primary PCR sample. The 100bp ladder reference is to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: It looks as thought this trial worked for Primary PCR. This image has a well defined smear. This time I used Brandy's oligo mix because her Primary PCR worked for her the first time. Our results were a little different, but I still believe that mine worked. Now I can move onto Secondary PCR! Made LB+KAN agar plates 10/03/13 Analysis: When I was using the pipette to dispense the mixture into the petri dishes, a few bubbles made it into the plates. Unfortunately, I underestimated how quickly the mixture would solidify and when I went back to remove the bubbles, they were already solid. Primary PCR (2nd try)
Figure 8 The figure above is of the 1% agarose gel run with 1XTAE buffer. Lane 1 contains the 100bp ladder and lane 2 contains the primary PCR sample. The 100bl ladder reference is to the left of the gel.
Analysis: It looks as though my latest primary PCR run has failed. Im not really sure as to why this is. This run is a lot better than my previous one but the smear needs to be up higher in between the 700 an 800 range. A possible reason for this could be possible contamination. That can cause the smear to be a lot lower. For this run I used Caroline's oligo mix because her primary PCR worked. I thought that if I used hers, I may get the right results. On my next try I will use Brandy's and hopefully it will work.
Due to exams over the last couple of weeks I was not able to get as far in lab as I wanted to, but I will be coming in early this week so that I can get on schedule.

Figure 6 The figure above is of the 1% agarose gel loaded with 1XTAE buffer. Well one contains the 100bp ladder. Well two contains the primary PCR(1uM oligo mix). The ladder reference it to the left of the gel image.
Analysis: It looks as though this gel run failed. The smear that is supposed to be present in lane two is not present. I can see a small hint of a dark spot but im not sure if that is a hint of am smear or if it just something in the gel. Possible causes for this could be that I didn't run my gel for long enough. An hour is usually a good amount of time but I guess it needed longer. Primer Design Tails Upstream:TACTTCCAATCCATG

The sequence margins are a little off. I couldn't figure out how to copy it correctly from my word document. The order is correct, the margins aren't though. *
Figure 5 The figure above is of the accepting vector being cut by BsaI from the NEBcutter website. The insert for STP1 doesn't get cut by BsaI.
Analysis: In order to get melting points that were relatively close base pairs had to be taken out of the forward primer and added to the reverse primer. This was necessary to decrease the chance of messing something up. The GC contents are good because they are below 50%. Restriction Enzyme Digest
Figure 4 The figure above is of a 1% agarose gel run with 1X TAE buffer. Well one was skipped. In well two there is the 1kb ladder. Lane three contains the uncut plasmid(without blue juice), pGBR22. Lane four contains pGBR22 cut with EcoRI. Lane five contains pGBR22 cut with PvuII. Lane six contains pGBR22 cut with EcoRI+PvuII. Lane seven contains the uncut plasmid (with blue juice), pGBR22. The ladder reference is to the left of the gel picture.
Analysis: I believe that the band didn't appear the way that they should have. There are no bands for sample C, and the other samples seemed to be a little higher than the were expected to be. I had to do another uncut plasmid sample because I forgot to add the blue juice before adding the sample to the well. PCR Round One
Figure 3 The figure above is of a 1% agarose gel run with 1X TAE buffer. In well one there is 100bp ladder. Lane two contains sample A which is 0.3ng pGBR22. Lane three contains sample B which is 3ng pGBR22. Lane four contains sample C which is 30ng pGBR22. Lane five contains sample D which has no pGBR22. The ladder reference is to the left of the gel picture.
Analysis: I think my first PCR turned out alright. Samples A, B, and C all show up nicely and they are on ladder markers. The only issue is that Sample D shows up. Since there is no plasmid, there should be no line in that lane. Possible reasons for this could be contamination. though I tried to take the proper steps to prevent this, it is possible that contamination still occurred.

Figure 2 The figure above is of the second measurement of pGBR22. It measures 407.2ng/uL.
Figure 1 The figure above is of the first measurement of pGBR22. It measures 410.6ng/uL
Analysis: The purpose of this lab was to determine the concentration of the plasmid using the nanodrop software and the spectrophotometer. The only possible error is that the 260/230 values aren’t that close to 2.1. They should be near that but for some reason they aren’t. The next steps after this lab would be to possibly do a third trial to see if the 260/230 values could be closer to 2.1 which is the desired value.

AAT
Figure 5 The figure above is of the accepting vector being cut by BsaI from the NEBcutter website. The insert for STP1 doesn't get cut by BsaI.
Analysis: In order to get melting points that were relatively close base pairs had to be taken out of the forward primer and added to the reverse primer. This was necessary to decrease the chance of messing something up. The GC contents are good because they are below 50%.
Restriction Enzyme Digest
Figure 4 The figure above is of a 1% agarose gel run with 1X TAE buffer. Well one was skipped. In well two there is the 1kb ladder. Lane three contains the uncut plasmid(without blue juice), pGBR22. Lane four contains pGBR22 cut with EcoRI. Lane five contains pGBR22 cut with PvuII. Lane six contains pGBR22 cut with EcoRI+PvuII. Lane seven contains the uncut plasmid (with blue juice), pGBR22. The ladder reference is to the left of the gel picture.
Analysis: I believe that the band didn't appear the way that they should have. There are no bands for sample C, and the other samples seemed to be a little higher than the were expected to be. I had to do another uncut plasmid sample because I forgot to add the blue juice before adding the sample to the well.
PCR Round One
Figure 3 The figure above is of a 1% agarose gel run with 1X TAE buffer. In well one there is 100bp ladder. Lane two contains sample A which is 0.3ng pGBR22. Lane three contains sample B which is 3ng pGBR22. Lane four contains sample C which is 30ng pGBR22. Lane five contains sample D which has no pGBR22. The ladder reference is to the left of the gel picture.
Analysis: I think my first PCR turned out alright. Samples A, B, and C all show up nicely and they are on ladder markers. The only issue is that Sample D shows up. Since there is no plasmid, there should be no line in that lane. Possible reasons for this could be contamination. though I tried to take the proper steps to prevent this, it is possible that contamination still occurred.

Nanodrop
Figure 2 The figure above is of the second measurement of pGBR22. It measures 407.2ng/uL.
Figure 1 The figure above is of the first measurement of pGBR22. It measures 410.6ng/uL
Analysis:
The purpose of this lab was to determine the concentration of the plasmid using the nanodrop software and the spectrophotometer. The only possible error is that the 260/230 values aren’t that close to 2.1. They should be near that but for some reason they aren’t. The next steps after this lab would be to possibly do a third trial to see if the 260/230 values could be closer to 2.1 which is the desired value.
